packet dropper module...problem includign skbuff.h

Hi


I m trying a packet dropper program(KERNEL MODULE) in Linux 2.4


I m getting some unusal erros in the Linux Header files itself. (more
particularly i got erros when including skbuff.h header file IS THERE
ANY PROBLEM IN INCLUDING THIS FILE IN A MODULE???



please help me in solving the erros.


The code goes like this:


/* packet_dropper.c
*
* This program provides an example of how to install a module into a
* slightly modified kernel that will randomly drop packets for a
specific (hard-coded) host.
* See linux/drivers/char/random.c for details of get_random_bytes().
* Usage (must be root to use):
* /sbin/insmod packet_dropper
* /sbin/rmmod packet_dropper
*/


#define MODULE
#define MAX_UNSIGNED_SHORT 65535


#include <linux/module.h>
#include <linux/skbuff.h> /* for struct sk_buff */
#include <linux/ip.h> /* for struct iphdr */


extern int (*test_function)(struct sk_buff *); /* calling
function */
extern void get_random_bytes(void *buf, int nbytes); /* random function

*/
unsigned short cutoff; /* drop cutoff */
float rate = 0.050; /* drop percentage

*/
__u32 target = 0x220010AC; /* 172.16.0.34 */


/************************************************************
packet_dropper
* this is what dev_queue_xmit will call while this module is installed

*/
int packet_dropper(struct sk_buff *skb) {
unsigned short t;
if (skb->nh.iph->daddr == target) {
get_random_bytes(&t,2);
if (t <= cutoff) return 1; /* drop this packet */
}
return 0; /* continue with normal routine */


} /* packet_dropper */


/***************************************************************
init_module
* this function replaces the null pointer with a real one */
int init_module() {
EXPORT_NO_SYMBOLS;
cutoff = rate * MAX_UNSIGNED_SHORT;
test_function = packet_dropper;
printk("<1> packet_dropper: now dropping packets\n");
return 0;


} /* init_module */


/************************************************************
cleanup_module
* this function resets the function pointer back to null */
void cleanup_module() {
test_function = 0;
printk("<1> packet_dropper: uninstalled\n");


} /* cleanup_module */


i m compiling it like this
gcc -D __KERNEL__ -D MODULE -O2 -Wall -Isystem/lib/modules/'uname
-r'/build/include -o packet_dropper.o -c packet_dropper.c
(there is no problem with the flags ..i checked it with a sample module

...its working fine)


STRANGE ERROS THAT I GOT:

I have given all the relevant info.
if you need any other info. do infom me.


Any help is appreciated.
